Skip to content At Women’s Health Group Chicago, our team of dedicated professionals understands the need for a detailed pre-surgical counseling and evaluation before undertaking a significant procedure like hysterectomy. This process helps to prepare you physically and mentally, answering any questions or concerns about your surgery. Our clinicians will take you through the various methods available including Laparoscopic, Abdominal, and Vaginal Hysterectomy options ensuring complete clarity from diagnosis to recovery. We believe in patient education so that every member can make informed decisions regarding their health.
A laparoscopic hysterectomy is one of the minimally invasive procedures we specialize in at Womens Health Group Chicago. Carried out by highly trained OBGYN surgeons, this method involves making few tiny incisions on your abdomen to remove the uterus using small instruments guided by a camera. It offers less scarring, quicker recovery time, less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgical methods making it an ideal choice for many women in Franklin Park.
The conventional Abdominal Hysterectomy involves removing the uterus through an incision made on your lower abdomen. The expert surgeons at Women’s Health Group Chicago are experienced with this type of surgery and work diligently towards minimizing discomfort during your healing period while maximizing surgical success rates. Despite being slightly more invasive than other techniques, sometimes conditions such as large fibroids necessitate its use.
When suitable based upon individual cases; vaginal hysterectomies have been noted for having fewer complications than abdominal or laparoscopic surgeries (when applicable). At Women’s Health Group Chicago we carefully assess each situation for performing this procedure where no external cuts are needed since organs are extracted via vagina which ultimately leads to much faster recuperation times.
Helping you recover smoothly with absolute comfort is our post-surgery mantra at Womens Health Group Chicago. We believe in individualized recovery plans developed specifically for you based on your surgical treatment, medical history, and unique recovery needs. From managing pain relief to providing guidance about activity levels, diet recommendations and more – we ensure that the transition from hospital to home is seamless.
Depending upon the requirement of a hysterectomy, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be necessary following your surgery as natural hormone production can be affected. At Women’s Health Group Chicago we have experts who specialize in hormonal care ensuring all replacements are administered safely while considering holistic health benefits vs potential risks involved. Whether it’s through creams or oral medication treatments will remain tailored towards each person’s specific bodily needs maintaining overall wellbeing for Franklin Park women post-hysterectomy.

A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. It is one of the most common surgeries performed on women in the United States.
A hysterectomy may be necessary to treat a variety of conditions, including:
There are three main types of hysterectomy:
A hysterectomy can be performed through the abdomen (open hysterectomy) or through the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy). Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that is also performed.
Like any surgery, hysterectomy has some risks, including:
After a hysterectomy, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Most women make a full recovery within a few weeks. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to rest as much as possible.
Yes, you will still be able to have sex after a hysterectomy. However, it is important to wait until you are fully recovered from surgery before resuming sexual activity.
No, you will not be able to get pregnant after a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is a permanent form of birth control.
